SAME SONG 8 YEARS LATER! ‘Feelin Good’-Cover by Angelina Jordan PRO VOCAL COACH REACTS

[@larrypifer1103]

In my 77 years of listening to the best the industry has to offer; I have never experienced anyone that even comes close to the ability that AJ possesses. There are over 150 videos of this genius on KZbin that are a testament to this unrivaled talent.

[@danielknight47]

The original was professionally produced. This came from a cell phone.

[@CarlD70]

See the same comment here a lot. There is no way to compare a professionally recorded show from a Cell phone recording, no matter how great a phone, or how great the editing and clean up is...still a phone after all. Great reaction/comments and all but these two performances cannot be compared.

[@ScionDraak]

​@@CarlD70 true, Carl. Soundwise one can not. For us Angels we know she can everything with her voice and does everything intentionally, specially life on stage. As one who knows that she runs Jazz in her veins, and being on Elvis' stage, we know she were just fully floating and enjoying.. watch her Mic work! I never saw her doing that before. She was so into her zone which created both versions each one a unique peace of art. And to the topic of tired voice and not feeling so good... Who tells Tim that she sang 38 songs that night 😅. Did anyone heard fatigue?

[@artfartzy]

Yes that made a big difference

[@ronraskind]

Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments. I really appreciate a reaction like this comparing a vocalist at different ages. It is always impactful to go back and then forward in time. Here is a brief biography on Angelina.. Norwegian born Angelina Jordan began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became one of the youngest ever vocalists to win an international Got Talent Show! Her performance at 9 years old of Screamin Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You is considered one of the finest jazz recordings ever of a 9-year-old vocalist! Angelina also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Angelina sings in English which is only her third language! She is a true prodigy. She is now 18, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, Even though she may not have experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records when she was 14. She was not widely promoted for a few years, as her family wanted to allow her a normal childhood. However, things have changed since she graduated school in the past year. She released two original music video singles from Republic Records, Love Don't Let Me Go, and Now I'm the Fool, coinciding with her new six song EP called Old Enough. She performed two shows in Las Vegas in February, and also performed Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo last December. She performed in Los Angeles in September. She is currently working with Toby Gad, a multi Grammy award-winning producer and composer, and has released two songs. If I were a boy, originally by Beyoncé, and Bad Valentine, which was officially released at her September 20th concert in LA. We believe a world tour could be in the making to coincide with the release of an album. Here is a semi-chronological KZbin playlist for Angelina of over 200 songs, beginning with 16 performances including originals, her EP, and a few specialty songs. Then it starts chronologically beginning with Gloomy Sunday from Norway's Got Talent. kzbin.info/aero/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc&si=HrEm55lV164yKJqu Here is an extended playlist of approximately 400 performances compiled and categorized, thanks to mosttodo10. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6mzmqijjqmSqJIsi=anjDyUnXdkPjCEf0 Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may makes many people emotional. It is related to a promise she made to herself and to the world when she was only 6 years old. She was traveling in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own favorite shoes. Angelina ask the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said a doctor, but she could not because she had to take care of her siblings. She asked Angelina the same question and Angelina said I want to sing for the world. The young girl said she would pray for Angelina. Since then, Angelia has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She even stated at 8 years old that she would be donating her winnings from Norway's Got Talent to charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing a special bond. Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. She is a messenger of love, light, and hope, wrapped in a blanket of humility. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world to spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

Angelina performed two shows on February 29, 2024, at Westgate in Las Vegas and I was at both shows. She hasn't performed many concerts in recent years. After the pandemic eased, she performed 3 concerts in Norway in 2022. I have attended her 3 concerts in the USA, Portsmouth NH in September 2023, Las Vegas 2/29/24 and Los Angeles 9/20/24. Angelina is improving with each concert. Her bio reads like music royalty and is far too long to post here, but the highlights are, winning Norway's Got Talent at age 8, performing at the Save the Children event at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony at age 8. Angelina opened the show for Quincy Jones's 85th birthday celebration at the O2 Arena in London at age 12. At 13, she earned the Golden Buzzer on AGT The Champions for her genius arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" which the members of Queen loved so much they allowed her to copyright it. Angelina was invited to "Le Bal", the annual debutante ball in Paris at age 17. Shortly after that she performed "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, becoming the first artist to perform at the event twice before the age of 18. Angelina has told us, by age 18, she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 16 to date. Here is the list. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... debuted at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad "Thank You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert 9/20/24 "What Am I to You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes

Very fascinating analysis! I didn’t go to the Vegas shows, but it is my understanding that Angelina performed THIRTY NINE songs between the two back-to-back shows on the evening of February 29th! I have definitely been more impressed with her earlier versions of Feeling Good, and I would bet that this Vegas performance was towards the end of the evening. You will come to find out that Angelina has NO problem delivering low notes. That is what she is known for, in addition to having the most beautiful voice of the twenty first century. I really look forward to following your journey discovering Angelina Jordan! 🎶💙👣

Ah, that’s what I suspected. Sounded like she was at the end of a night of singing. What an amazing talent she is! 🙌🏼✨

For whatever it’s worth, her most recent original “Bad Valentine” is over-the-top spectacular, particularly her most recent “jazz” version. She has managed to reimagine her OWN song in a way that makes it sounds totally new. They are both amazing with the latter being my preferred version. There currently are probably close to six or more performances out there (live and in the studio) and every one of them is uniquely beautiful. Here are two links… a live version of Bad Valentine (produced by her co-writer Grammy winner Toby Gad) and the aforementioned spectacular “Jazz” version: “BV” live at the Alex theater in LA, September 20, 2024: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWGWYX2Ypa-tZ9k&pp=ygUmQW5nZWxpbmEgam9yZGFuIGJhZCB2YWxlbnRpbmUgdG9ieSBnYWQ%3D And the “JAZZ” version of BV: [audio only] m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3RaoeXn9iosM0&pp=ygUrQW5nZWxpbmEgam9yZGFuIGJhZCB2YWxlbnRpbmUgcGlhbm8gZGlhcmllcw%3D%3D

Angelina’s greatest influence and inspiration is her grandmother Mery Zamani, Mery introduced Angelina to the old classic songs and Jazz when Angelina was 1 1/2 years old, Angelina won Norways Got Talent at 8 years old, I agree you can learn to sing from a young age and improve over time, but Angelina is mainly self taught and was born to sing, she is a musical prodigy and Jazz and soul flows through her veins, you cannot teach Angelina’s phenomenal talent it’s ingrained in her soul!

[@rw716]

Well, welcome to the AJ Rabbit Hole! You are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Even though she has been compared by many to Amy Winehouse, her major influence is Billie Holiday. Other influences are Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Adele to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. In 2014, she entered at age 7 and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, "Wow, what a rendition!" For Queen to respond to someone covering one of their songs is quite a feat since they rarely react to anyone. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity. Now 18 years old, living in Los Angeles, and currently signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records had agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. From what we know, she is finally done with school. She had a single that came out May 5th called Love Don't Let Me Go, a new EP called Old Enough that came out Friday, July 21st, 2023, a newly released video of her new song called Now I'm The Fool, and a new album of original music which will be coming out some time this year. Angelina released her new single, Our Time, and is fantastic! She returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience. On September 22, 2023, Angelina had her first U.S. concert that sold out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On December 11, 2023, she was asked to come back and perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. She first performed at this prestigious event in 2014 when she was 8. On Feb.29th, 2024, she performed 2 shows on one night at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. A film crew followed her and created a documentary of her called Angelina Jordan: 10 Years In The Making which premiered on her official KZbin channel on March 29th, 2024. Currently, she is working with 3 time Grammy winner songwriter/producer Toby Gad creating new original music for her to sing. Gad has co-wrote and produced such big hits like All Of Me by John Legend, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, If I Were A Boy by Beyonce, and Skyscraper by Demi Lovato and a number of others. Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a poor shoeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. The girl then asked Angelina what her dreams were, Angelina answered that she wanted to sing for the whole world, and the girl said she would pray for her success. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!

[@jeffthebeeguy]

She has a newer original called "Bad Valentine" that she did in several versions--yes she does covers to her own songs and that is her jazz background. You will almost never hear her sing the same song exactly the same twice. I will leave you with a bluesier version live, a more rock version (some pedal thumping) live, and a studio jazz version from Toby Gad's "Piano Diaries". You will hear her bring out a totally different emotional bent in the jazz version which I think is her best work yet. Simple backing so you can hear every detail she puts forth in every word. This will give you a small peek into her versatility. There are now a lot of songs she has repeated now that she is more active singing live. I will leave 3---"Unchained Melody" Nobel Peace Prize was prof. recorded, "I'd Rather Go Blind" 12yo raspy version and her L.A. concert blues version with Jimmy Z., and "When We Were Young" 13 and her Vegas concert version (spectacular) use James Thiel's site. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XNq5uGiLuaq8U&start_radio=1&rv=S030JbpJz1w blues/jazz kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWGWYX2Ypa-tZ9k live LA kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3RaoeXn9iosM0 Jazz version Excited to hear more as I am not a singer but have a decent ear and she always talks to us through song.

Thank you!

[@andyschnell58]

Tim, thank you very much for your reaction and analysis, to my all time favorite singer storyteller, Angelina Jordan Astar. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina never learned the orphan's name but called her Princess. The orphan girl replied, "princesses live in castles, we live in ruins". Angelina titled her song about this story, "Princess of Ruins". Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website.

Her lower register is a thing of beauty she can go lower. yes 10 was a massive evolution for her, She was first recorded in her crib at 18 months old singing a line from a Whitney song, her Granma who is Iranian renown artist and poet played jazz around the house , by 3 AJ was borrowing her mothers iPad scouring you tube for all the jazz greats and taught herself to sing, she had after school music classes learning to play instruments, arranging but no vocal training only vocal heath because her family and the teachers agreed not to interfere with what she was doing already vocally. by 5 she was crazing her mother to sign her up to the Simon show AGT , she had to wait until she was 7 yrs old she eventually auditioned on Norway's got talent with her performance of "Gloomy Sunday" Billie Holiday this was her choice no one chooses for her, her performance went viral , ang the legend of AJ was born. She went on to win the show at 8 years old agents flew from all around the world to sign her up her family turned them all down so she could have a normal childhood, and during school holidays they travelled the world where her career actually started mostly chartable event to help children ,so she has sang live her whole life with single accompaniments, jazz bands, orchestra's she is a veteran at 18 yrs old, she has also been arranging her own music and covers since she was 8yrs old, she has given her heart and soul to what she loves to do and what she knew she was here for so her whole life is documented and recorded mainly the younger years by her Granma who recorded everything not just her singing so we have been privileged to watch and experience her grow up the love between her angels is like a family for her and us a Jj concert is a love feast where she competes with her angels to tell how grateful she is and how much she loves us I have to say she is a most beautiful soul who since she could talk or sing that she wants to spread love and kindness throughout the world, she is as real as it gets as a person and an artist , such integrity, honesty, sincerity, tenderness , poise, calm, elegance , our beloved barefoot angel , girl with a thousand voices, who embodies the sunshine.💜👣😇

When an artist requests that people NOT record the performance, I would respectfully NOT record it! Plain and simple. But Angelina's so-called "fans" are not only more interested in having their own, personal recordings, they also literally BRAG about doing so, as if to say "to hell with HER request!" And yet they continue to refer to themselves as "fans" ("angels" in this case) as if THEY are the celebrities. SMH

[@muchkneaded]

@@lightbearer7552 I know they do. If my memory serves me, the "no recording" request was posted on one of her concert posters outside the venue, but the only poster I've been able to locate is the one Joseph Nannery posted on Angelina's Facebook page on September 11, 2024.

I was at the 2nd show at Westgate. I was concerned that her vocals would get tired. She did show signs of wear and tear. But it was a wonderful live performance.

[@GrandmaShirley-op4jm]

She is simply amazing. Her class and grace is so refreshing

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Very different arrangements and feel to these two performances but both arranged by Angelina. You need to hear some of the songs she did with Ivan Mendez age 12. They would pick a song that looked interesting, run through it once or twice, then Grandma would record it. Raw, under rehearsed and stunning. Try "Stay" and note her frequent side glances to check the lyrics.

Great reaction. Just so you know, Angelina's observed range from all the available videos of performances she has done goes from a C3 up to a D7. I'm sure her voice was fatigued by the time she got to this performance. She has been classified by a number of vocal coaches as a contralto.

[@tomrogers1305]

In Vegas she did two 90 minute evening shows, 60 minutes between. Who wouldn't be tired?

[@pjg58x]

I was at. Eva’s. She actually performed 19 songs per set, 20 different songs all together as she replaced Moon River with My Funny Valentine in the 2nd set.

Is there something special about the vocal structures of a young singer who has this capacity? I’m curious what is talent, what is technique, and what could be anatomy, and what could be that mystery with all of them combined? Fascinating. Thanks for vid!

[@francescogalesso1880]

If you decide to learn more about Angelina, you will discover that she is not only gifted, but also a true genius. At 6 years old, you see her in the studio reading the lyrics and singing in English, which is not her first language. At 9 years old, she arranges and sings: "I Putt A Spell On You" written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956. One of the most incredible KZbin videos ever seen. At 13, competing on AGT, she arranges "Bohemian Rhapsody" making it her own, over 100 million views. After the compliments, the remaining QUEEN grant her the copyright to her original version. Etc. A very long etcetera.

It's 19 songs per show and a full 20 songs in rehearsal that afternoon making it 58 that day. This song was in the second concert and 12th in the line up for each show.

Someone mentioned that this was in the second show and I would be able to confirm if he had posted the original link in description. There were 19 songs per show and this song was the 12th song in the line up making it the 31st song but many do not realize that she would have done a full 20 song rehearsal in the afternoon making this performance the 51st song of the day.

*** follow-up *** So, here is my SNC: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions to her from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelina's entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! Maybe you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it 😏 Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... 😏 So a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU - btw. like here she made most of her cover arrangements by herself! ..at the beginning she made her last changes for the piano arrangement and gave her "wishes" to the band leader..) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZyqgZumq9anhcU or another version of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paOxoXtsnt6ioas and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( 😏 ): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJOckppul8iblbc or as Audio-Studio-Version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmPGlaF3itumrZo) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a virtuoso tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D At the beginning you see her something writing on a sheet and a man reading it and smiles than.. in an interview this man, who was the "bandleader", said, this were some "wishes" from Angelina (she was every time very polite he said) for changes of her arrangement for the piano 😃) The candle you can see at about 0:12 shows a portrait of J. Hawkins - I think her grandma bought it at a concert in Tokyo 😏 At 0:26 you can see the bassist smiling - I can imagine that he smiles about the expectable reactions of the listeners in the moment, when Angelina starts to sing at 0:30 😏 Btw. I read somewhere that her grandma was in person at a concert of SJH in Japan (as she, AJs mother and uncle lived there some years - AJs grandpa is Japanese) and there AJs grandma bought this candle as a souvenir 😏 ...I hope this story isn't a HOAX 😃 Maybe you wonder, what videos you should next react to 😏 ... Furthermore there is a big pile of over 170 videos on KZbin with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... and each and every one is worth to listen and to react to - even the very early recordings when she was 6 yo! She is born January 10th 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language 😏), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independent - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/aktuelt/industry-talk-michael-astar ). Btw. her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar, but in most occasions she is introduced as Angelina Jordan - she herself answered in the audition of Norske Talenter her name is "Angelina Jordan"… 😏 First of all, here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - kzbin.info/door/1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA Angelina Jordan Cover Channel - kzbin.info/door/v-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg Angelina Jordan VEVO Channel - kzbin.info/door/D9xBPlntT45VN6dY1LNhng Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - kzbin.info/door/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ (on this web site you can find also her accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) her TikTok-channel: www.tiktok.com/@angelinajordana and the site of Republic Records with her introduction: www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvNeGlueculY5o (One of?)

So, she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...

[@js33412]

At Las Vegas she performed two 2-hour shows with a session in-between with the musicians and made many changes before the second show! I don't know when this song was sung, maybe in both concerts. But, recording was not allowed - thank G-- that some folks ignored that proscription... So the audio was from cell phones - not ideal for capturing audio. Also, as soon as the drums appeared, there were holes in her audio since the AGC took over and reduced the gain. Certain videos from those performances were better at capturing her voice. A more recent concert, in Los Angeles, did allow recording. Also, I see that she was not familiar with that particular microphone. With her own Neumann TLM mike, she knows that she needs to move it away from her mouth when she belts. Here she did it and lost the needed gain. Angelina is comfortable with her low range, and it usually produces that resonant sound, as heard in her younger performance. Listen to " How Great Thou Art" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2kdqxnga57qMU She has always spoken English with an American accent. Apparently, the teachers in her school in Norway conducted lessons in English. I hear that that is not unusual in Norway. Also, at very young ages, she and her family traveled/worked in the U.S. In the hundreds of songs I have heard her sing, I can only remember one sung in Norwegian (a Christmas song). She has lived in Los Angeles since she was 12-1/2, since there was little opportunity for growth in Norway. She has been signed to Republic Records since she was 14 (although that might be ending).

[@dirkdegraw4165]

Really enjoyed your breakdown, Tim. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on some of her originals. BTW… you were correct about her lows in the adult Angelina.

Great reaction. Two comments 1) your reference to that book on the method young geniuses use is the best explanation I have heard about how Angelina was able to become so unbelievably talented. 2) It's not just that Angelina at age 10 was an astonishing good jazz singer for her age. It's that she was already one of the best jazz singers in the world of any age. And what makes it even more amazing is that she was also top level at a number of other styles.

For anybody new to Angelina, who wants to get to know her quickly, I created this playlist with 12 songs from age 7 to 18 (plus a trailer for a documentary describing her career up to 2023): kzbin.info/aero/PLddfS789jBCrSUcMxwCiHeJi8A9zN5xt3 1. Gloomy Sunday, her 2013 audition to Norway's Got Talent, when she was 7, which was aired in 2014 and then immediatly went viral. 2. Fly Me to the Moon, live on The View, was her US debut later in 2014, and also went viral. It gathered more than 37 Million views on KZbin, and many more on Facebook. 3. I Put a Spell On You, the song where Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nickname from, has 11 Million Views so far. Her cover is closer to his original than most well known covers of it. She was 9 years old here. 4. Feeling Good, in a version sung on TV in 2016 while still being 10 years old, though she already started to perform the song in public about a year earlier. 5. A Million Years Ago, one of 13 Adele covers she did, as an impressive acoustic home studio recording. 6. Shield, from 2018, was the third original she relased that year at 12 years old. It is about the protection and support she gets from her family. 7. Bohemian Rhapsody, in her own stripped down arrangement on AGT the Champions Season 2, wowed everyone, including the group Queen themselves, who twittered "Wow, what a performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!" 8. Million Miles, which she wrote and produced together with Stargate, is about the loss of a close person (her grandfather), and was the first song she released 2020 with Republic Records. 9. 7th Heaven, her 2nd song with RR from 2021, is encouraging people to persue their dreams, like she did. 10. Suspicious Minds, done 2022, is an Elvis cover as unique as Bohemian Rhapsody was. 11. Love Don't Let Me Go, her third release with Republic Records, and the first new song on her EP "Old Enough" of total 6 new original songs. 12. Bad Valentine, her latest original, just released on Sept. 20th, as a live preview in a small venue. If you are more interested in her recent performances, here is a playlist containing releases and performances from her last 3 years, including all titels from "Old Enough", with the new performances always being added at the beginning of the list: kzbin.info/aero/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5 She cites Billie Holiday as her biggest influence. And she covered more songs from Adele than by any other artist, followed by Amy Winehouse, Elvis, and Sam Smith.

[@kenscott8966]

You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (170+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse to the Beatles (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40-piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.

👍👍 Well, you were close on age 5 as her starting point,,, it was actually 1-1/2 when her MAGICAL mind started... 👣🌬🌎

[@clydeatrowbridge]

when angelina was 12 she asked her mother and uncle to move to U S for career...

[@sverregylseth6095]

❤😊 I agree with you. I look forward to your next AJ reaction. She does sing low notes in a rendition of Elvis’ “How great Thou art”. Well worth checking out. 😊👍

[@peterstadelmeier]

Hi Tim, it's great that you have found the best singer at the moment. She is also called the barefoot princess with 1000 voices. She has done around 200 covers as well as 15 songs that she wrote herself and 4 songs that were written for her. Most of them are better than the original. She has the ability to adapt her voice to any song or genre and to convey the emotions that the song needs. I hope you will do more with her and you will see that there is a huge fan base (Angels) of hers, as she is called, who will follow you. Greetings from Germany

[@Bob_A8993]

Great reaction. Hope you do more Angelina. Can't get enough, thanks!👍

[@FaerieFenergles]

I agree. I loved her 10 year old version of the song. The later one sounded too "contrived" if you know what I mean. If you want your socks blown off react to her 9 year old tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins, I Put a Spell on You. Also all of her mind-blowing performances on Norway's Got Talent which she WON at age 7-8.

[@davidjackson1138]

OK you doing Angelina I'm supporting you I love listening to our Angel lina

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Thanks, she’s amazing!

[@jefftofte9419]

Enjoyed your reaction very much, will be following along as you explore this unique artist.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

Not to take away from her incredibly hard work, but It also helps when you’re born a child musical prodigy. Look at some of her earlier videos from a much earlier, relatively, age. Like 6, or even 1.5. She’s a naturally driven artist, not just a performer.

[@Chris1969o]

I personally think AJ is a natural woman. She sang that too.

[@josephinefuentez-green1129]

Wait till you hear her voice .., Rendition of Whitney or Adele even Elvis ..,, THATS HER VOICE❤❤❤❤

[@scottstarkey4035]

Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole!! This young lady burst on the scene at Norway’s Got Talent in 2013-14 at the age of seven and turned eight midway through the competition. She auditioned with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" followed by an Acapella performance of Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You". She was 7 years old for both performances. Her birthday is January 10th, so her next two performances she had turned 8 (barely). She performed Sony & Cher's "Bang, Bang" (made popular by Nancy Sinatra). She won the competition with her performance of George Gershwin's "Summertime". For these performances, please make sure you watch subtitled versions as they are in Norwegian and the judge's comments are very much worth reading!! She performs barefoot because a promise she made to a poor Iranian girl when she was six years old. She met this girl who was weighing people for money. After talking to this girl about their dreams, the girl dreamed of being a doctor and Angelina told her dream of wanting to sing for the world. Angelina, at six, took off her favorite pair of boots and gave them to the girl as she had no shoes at all. She promised the girl that she would perform barefoot as long as there were shoeless children in the world! Twelve years later she still performs barefoot in honor of that promise - there are a couple times she is not barefoot for reasons like venue wouldn’t allow it or she’s brought on stage for a song or two and it’s not her headlined performance, etc. At age nine she published a book about the experience “Between Two Hearts” and became the youngest published author in Norway. You will be inundated with comments and song suggestions from her fans who are her “Angels”. Her Angels are very passionate about her as many are father/mother to great-great-grandfather/grandmother age - and we all adore her as if she were one of our kids/grandkids. You really can’t go wrong with any song of hers you choose. She always puts her mark on covers while paying absolute respect to the original. She has done her own arrangements since at least age 9 when she did “I Put a Spell on You” at 9yrs 2mos old. For that performance she comes out with a candle picturing the original artist Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (worth checking out his performance on Merv Griffin where he’s dressed like a voodoo doctor performing it). Next you’ll see her little hand writing a note to the music director who reads it and smiles. It’s last minute changes to the piano. The whole band was calling her “Boss” out of respect as she was professional and knew exactly what she wanted to accomplish. You’ll get a great many requests for her songs and they are all great! I’m 58 years old and have never been captured by a voice like I have been by Angelina. I ‘found’ her in January of 2020 while watching young folks reacting to legends like The Righteous Brothers and this video thumbnail of a little (13 yo) girl sitting on a blue couch popped up and I decided to click it. This cover of “I’d Rather go Blind” absolutely blew my mind. Since that day I’ve barely listened to anyone else. I’ve listened to her for thousands of hours and watched hundreds of if not thousands of hours of reactions to her. I’m going to recommend some songs that most people don’t immediately recommend. You’ll get lots of Bohemian Rhapsody, Bad Valentine, Suspicious Minds, Unchained Melody, If I Were a Boy and many others - they are ALL fantastic! But I’m going to pop in some recommendations that aren’t as often requested but are brilliant as always with her. Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game - she slowed it down and made it even more emotional while playing the piano. Alan Walker - Sunday & Sing Me to Sleep Live. Alan Walker is a Norwegian DJ and music producer who asked Angelina to open his “Coming Home” concert. She was just ten years old and sick. They told her she didn’t need to perform, but being the professional she is, she insisted on performing anyway. So you will hear a couple voice cracks from her being sick but she still did a beautiful job! Rihanna - Stay - this is a cover she did in L.A. in a room in her house with guitar player Ivan Mendez. You can watch him get lost in her voice, there’s an interview with him on Alan Papier’s channel. Elvis - Can’t Help Falling in Love - Another performance from a room in a house in Norway. The guitar player here is Egil Claussen and Alan Papier has an interview with him as well. George Gershwin - Summertime (KORK) - KORK is a famous Norwegian Orchestra who has performed with Angelina several times. This a beautiful rendition of her Norway’s Got Talent winning cover song! Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Jazzy Michael Jackson Cover) - I have never been a fan of MJ, sorry but it is what it is. That said, Angelina completely reimagined this song in her beautifully jazzy rendition. Beatles - Yesterday - filmed in the same location as Billie Jean. This is a fantastic re-imagining as well. Seoul Muse Festival she opened for Norah Jones at age 11. She sang “I Put a Spell on You” in front of 40,000 attendees. My understanding is that it was a last minute request as Norah was running late so Angelina is in ‘street clothes’. Her 7 song set at Muse is worth checking out as well - not sure if her set was performed earlier that day or another day of the festival. The big deal here, for me, is how unaffected an 11 year old is singing in front of a crowd that size! With a growing library of over 200 covers by over 80 legends like Adele, Billie Holiday, Whitney Houston, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, John Legend, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Queen, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, etc. As I’ve said, anything she sings is worth a listen! Angelina is currently collaborating with Toby Gad (co-writer “All of Me”, “If I were a Boy”, “Big Girls don’t Cry”, “Skyscraper”, among others) and Scott Hoying of Pentatonix to create new music!! Welcome to Angelina’s world! Like the Hotel California - You can check out, but you can never leave once she puts her spell on you!!

[@poolhallshark]

Excellent reaction and analysis, Tim! I'm super happy that you've finally found the time to check out Angelina. IMO she is the best female singer in the world. Her adult version of the song is among my very least favorite performances by her, mostly for the reason you mentioned. THAT being said, Angelina's natural voice IS very deep and she has always been able to sustain her low notes effortlessly. There are numerous examples of this, and if you keep reacting to her, you will hear that soon enough. Another thing that was very unusual in her adult performance was her absolute stank face 😉 We HAVE seen traces of it before, but only from a few very recent performances. I don't mind her doing it, but I'm not used to seeing it. And I also don't think it is necessary. There is more than enough emotions in her voice as it is. But that's just me. If you want to hear a good example of what she sounds like as an adult, I would recommend you check out her performance of Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Price concert in December last year. She was 17 years old, and a lot of her voice is on full display. Another excellent choice would be her performance of Adele's Easy On Me. There is a very good black and white studio recording of it. And she was 15 at the time. Then you would have heard her at 10,15 and 18. Regardless, you're bound to fall in love with her as an artist and as a human being. She is a humanitarian extraordinaire. I hope to see you react more to her soon 🙂 Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Thanks! More to come! ✨🙌🏼

[@carols1406]

I am really looking forward to following your journey with Angelina. There are so many spectacular songs from her younger years but I love how her voice has matured and is now so full and deep. She is also exploring her higher registers in recent songs. To better compare to a beautifully recorded live performance from recent times you should listen to her performance of Unchained Melody performed at the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony with the KORK orchestra. Also, her new original song Bad Valentine is fire.

[@paulwagner9303]

Good explanation - it was the only song she sang that night in Oslo at 10 years old, and song #31 in Vegas (out of 38). You are a vocal coach and that is a blessing because we can learn some technical/"mechanical" things about singing that were not explained so well before - although we have already heard some interesting things from other vocal coaches. On the other hand, you are a vocal coach and that is a problem because you have seen some young artists go down the wrong path, ignoring advice and warnings with sad results - and you are applying that to this particular artist without knowing her well enough. I'm not sure how one could express the term "prejudice" in a somewhat polite way... Keeping that in mind, I'm sure you now will be horrified when you hear her sing "I put a spell on you" at nine years old ;-) Another mistake first timers make is that they think this is her "style"/way of singing, when in fact she is more versatile than most adult singers. And she is not known for belting at all - when she was "young" she was criticized for mostly singing soulful ballads. Try some of them - "Summertime" with KORK (10yo), "Cry me a river" Proysenfestival version (11yo), "Stay" (12yo), "I'm A Fool To Want You" (11yo). And if you think she ruined her voice by singing for more than ten years as a kid/teen, listen to "Bad Valentine - Piano Diaries Edition" (18yo) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3RaoeXn9iosM0 . By the way, I think that for such an age comparison Etta's "I'd rather go blind" would be more suitable - the Blue sofa version (12yo) and the one from the Alex Theater concert in Glendale (18yo). As for her nearly perfect English, don't be too surprised, she grew up bilingual and lived in LA almost as long as she lived in Oslo as a toddler.

[@therosabella67]

Angelina Jordan is amazing!!

[@leechap3]

The first performance was professionally recorded; it revealed10 year old prodigy Angelina at her best channeling Nina Simone to a tee. The second was a cellphone recording so a lot of detail was missing. She seemed to be suffering from a little fatigue judging from how she was handling the mic. She had sung more than 30 songs before this was recorded so her losing some presence is understandable. Having said all that, I love when she improvises and jazzes it up so I really love the second performance. If you really want an example of her doing her new stuff and in this jazzy style here is the one you want to react to BAD VALENTINE (Piano Diaries) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3RaoeXn9iosM0

[@joseetcheverry2712]

Creo que estas en lo cierto! Los conciertos de Angelina son extensos y el agotamiento en las cuerdas vocales se debe percibir en algún momento. De todas formas en mi opinión de neófito Angelina es la mejor vocalista que escuche en mis sesenta años. Gran reacción! Saludos

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

She could have been sick Tim ? She often performs while sick cuz she hates not keeping her word. She sang Michael jacksons I'll Be There when she was 8 for a charity while sick with a sore throat and bad cough and 103 Temp. The doctors on stage told her to not perform and come back in four months. Her mother even told her to wait til she's better then come back ? Angelina refused and said she promised them she'd be there a year earlier and she won't break her word. She's a trooper .during that performance of I'll Be There her voice shattered. She calmy went to the next verse and continued and lowered her pitch a little and finished her performance. Any adult would have ran off the stage and never came back? Not Angelina . She's one in a trillion ! Great reaction Tim. You don't seem to know Angelina that good yet? You cant judge her as you do normal singer's She's on another level Tim. God Bless

[@peterwalther5273]

Angelina have the lowest tones you heard if you react to "a million years ago" Her winning performance in Norwegian idol "Summertimes" when she was 7 years old are mind boggling..

[@lynettepascua4730]

Being I am on the other side of the world and my mornings are too busy, I am always late getting to see this but thank you so much. I loved your reaction.

[@CYRILLEJacob]

39 songs in La + a bad audio recording can be good as the shoot in tv show. nice to see you again !

[@marypetrakos5232]

Fantastic reaction, thank you!!! I prefer her 10yrs old version to the one this year at 18 !!

[@donnaphillips5255]

Angelina had two back to back concerts and she still had several huge songs to cover she had already sang a sett list of very hard songs including covers of Adele so she could have been a little tired as she can normally sing extremely liw

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

You're 5% correct Tim? The other 95% is she has God given talent ? You can't teach what she knew at a early age . When she was 8 I ranked her above Adele And whitney Houston . Now she is the G.O.A.T. IMO , They should teach her Bio in schools IMO. Kid's would be much better off having Angelina as a role model than Cardi B Or Miley or Brittany ? God Bless her Great reaction Tim.

[@Charles-uw9kh]

Concernjng her lower regjster try "How Great Thou Art" from about 11 . It is in the same key as Elvis. Then try Unchained Melody from the Nobel Prize at age 17. Toward the end of the performance she hits a D3 and closes with a very clear G5. Another difference between the performances is the quality of the orchestras. For sure, I Put a Spell on You , at 9, it is the only time she sang that harshly but it surely gives you a look at her musical character. My top 10 Angelina songs is now about 50 so have fun and take time to just enjoy the music.

[@pa1189j]

What is strange about HGTA is that AJ posted it but hurriedly withdrew it and I don’t think we ever found out why. Similarly with My Funny Valentine (16).

[@livingLge]

Grest analysis of our Barefoot Princess! Subbing for more!

[@Pyanfar]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 The place I first heard her was her singing I Put A Spell On You when she was 9. I've been addicted since. Even flew out to LA to see her concert this past September. She was fantastic! The recording from Las Vegas is cell phone recording so sound quality is not very good. Quincy Jones told Angelina that she was the greatest talent he had heard since Michael Jackson. If you really want to be astounded, listen to the black and white filmed version of her singing I Have Nothing at 16, I like it better than Whitney Houston's versions.

[@wisehiker]

I thought the same about this being later in her performance..... Plus the younger recording was with professional equipment and this is just on a cel phone....

[@robertsilva631]

Keep in mind that the second video was recorded on a cell phone - I was at that concert and she sounded much better than on the video you reacted to.
